Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.

Filthy Rich Club Series #5 Dr. Lucent Lotus Amourteirre thought her life was simple. She ran a luxurious veterinary clinic in the heart of Makati, cared for everything from spoiled shih tzus to abandoned strays, and lived peacefully in the penthouse above her family's legacy building, Le Sanctuaire. Until one rainy night, when a wounded black panther collapsed at her glass doors. Driven by instinct and compassion, Lucent saved the animal-unaware it belonged to Raphael Le Michaelis Guillermes, a stoic, notorious mafia boss whose moral code was as sharp as his suits: never harm the innocent. Their worlds collided in gunfire and wit, in chaos and sarcasm. She was a doctor of beasts; he was a master of shadows. He dealt in power and silence; she disarmed him with sass and laughter. But saving his panther pulled her into his world-a world of loyalty, danger, and unspoken rules, where love became both a weapon and a refuge. From Manila to Spain, from bullet wounds to whispered vows under the moonlight, Lucent and Raphael's unlikely bond grew into something neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes, the knight doesn't come in shining armor. Sometimes, he arrives in a tuxedo-carrying a gun, a secret, and a heart that only one woman could tame.
